What color of interior(seats, dash, carpet, door panels, arm rests) would look best in a bright orange truck?

Low69CST · 06-25-2002, 01:42 PM

Black, gray, white maybe? If you wanna go wild what about blue?

O'l Buck · 06-25-2002, 01:46 PM

my truck was orange with a black interior and top from the factory...i'm sure it looked nice when it was new!!!!......not so nice now...lol

all depends on your personal taste. black and orance can look very nice, an off-white with it or slightly grey/silver could also be very cool. all up to you, and what YOU think will look good. i like the blue idea too but you'd have to make sure they went together, i'm not sure what sorta orange he's got

depending on what you are after you could go with blue. It is complementarty to orange and would really stand out. THink purple Corvette pace car and yellow.

Otherwise, you would need to go with an adjacent color like red or yellow (or shades thereof).

Orange and white! White bench seat with an orange stripe down the middle.

certain shades of light brown/tan work well with orange also, especially if you have the factory woodgrain trim to go with it...

I say white/parchment interior. I saw an orange burb with a black/red houndstooth interior, though, and it looked great.

I ordered a true white interior fron Southern Kentuky truck parts . Its a 100 bucks more but the true white will look the best. you will need to dye the arm rest to a true white to match.

right now i'm leaning towards an offwhite it's just so hard to keep clean
